Adder’s skin turned gray in sorrow. The comet’s head was black. “I can see there’s no use in talking to you.” He turned toward Eve. “Gabrielle is his shill. They travel over the galaxy selling worthless planets they don’t own to gullible suckers from the sticks.”

Eve was staring at the comet below his knee. “Does it glow in the dark?”

“Will you stop talking about that ugly comet. This is our planet and this guy is trying to tell us it’s not ours. Did you hear him slander Gabrielle? I don’t believe that.” Adam glanced at Eve and paused a few seconds. “Do you?” He waited as Eve slowly shook her head. “Gabrielle is absolutely honest and helpful. She even said she would help us with the note if we fell behind.”

“I hate to say but you guys have been screwed to the wall by George and Gabrielle. There is also another reason George and Gabrielle couldn’t sell you this planet.” His skin glistened as the comet disappeared under his foot. “This planet is classified as an endangered species planet. Do you realize that this is the only planet in the whole galaxy that has both the two-toed and three-toed sloth. That just for beginners. It also has the wooly mammoth and the rare white two horned rhinoceros.”
